“I cannot say enough about Ashley! She spent the weekend with my dogs and she was FABULOUS! The sweetest young lady. My dogs LOVE her (and they don’t love many!!). Ash sent me pictures all weekend, great communication- such an incredible demeanor with the dogs. I literally feel like for the first time in years, I can actually go away with total confidence and trust that my dogs are in the best of hands. She is really special.”
“Carina was very accommodating and caring when taking care of my dog Lexi. She communicates well throughout the day and sent pictures. I feel comfortable leaving Lexi alone with her.”

I am very attentive to animal body language, making sure your pets stay safe, comfortable, and appropriately active while you are away. Rain or snow, I stick strictly to your pet's schedule.

I have been caring for pets my entire life and have experience looking after, walking and administering medication for pets of all shapes and sizes. This includes senior pets. I have been dogsitting for friends and family for several years including long term, overnight stays. I’ve looked after everything from a tiny shih tzu to two Belgian Malinois-sized rescues at once.

I am a diligent caregiver with a watchful eye who likes to respect a pet’s autonomy. I am patient and respectful of cats that may be shy or dogs that may be nervous but open to a good cuddle with a pet that might need it.
About: Hello! I’m Megan, a dedicated and experienced house sitter based in New York City. Originally from sunny Southern California, I moved to NYC to pursue my love of musical theatre. When I’m not out auditioning, taking dance class, or hitting the rehearsal studio, you’ll usually find me lost in a great book, catching up on Marvel movies, planning my next trip to Disneyland, or out exploring the city and finding fun activities with friends. I’ve been house sitting and overnight pet sitting since 2022, and since moving to New York, it has been the absolute best way to supplement my creative life while giving me the flexibility to care for homes and pets with total dedication. I take pride in being exceptionally easy to work with, communicative, and respectful of your space. Whether it’s strictly following your household routines, keeping things sparkling clean, or making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you're away, I've got you covered (and you can always count on plenty of cute photo updates!).

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baxter Estates
Antonia was great! She was incredibly responsive and flexible in scheduling our meet and greet, which I very much appreciated. Nia house sat for my dog and cat; the cat has CKD and requires extra care and Nia was on top of it. Nia spent lots of time with Teddy doing what he loves best - snuggling! Nia loves animals and they love her right back! Nia also provided regular updates, which I appreciated, especially since it was the first time we worked together. I will definitely use Nia again!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Baxter Estates walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Baxter Estates maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Baxter Estates choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
